Odin was not recognizing. Just tried to reflash the rom and I think i bricked.... Phone is black and wont do anything :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Pull the battery and try again. If all you get is blue led, then yes you are bricked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
yes i am bricked..... any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
POWER CYCLE!

TAKE THAT BATTERY OUT AND LEAVE IT OUT

If it is bricked than you need to leave the battery out for several minutes.. Up to an hour if you are being really safe... Then you will be able to partially boot and get a handle on things...

If you are bricked..

What happened exactly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
battery pull reflashing this rom. (IDIOT)

I have the battery out now, just let it sit?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
If all you had was a blue led and nothing else, then yes.

You may have triggered the dreaded ERASE_CAP in which case you would have to cycle the power.. Then if you cannot flash at this point you may very well need to repartition around the damage, losing a small amount of storage (like 2g maybe) but savong the phone...

This is all a big IF. It doesnt sound like you couldve triggered it..

I think youll be able to odin out of this after you power cycle... Im gonna see if I can find you some real help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Not sure. Well, if you can't get it going, you may get Sprint to swap it under the 1 year factory warranty. Maybe tell them you got an update notification and when the phone rebooted, it wouldn't turn on anymore. ;)

I would blame it on the OTA rollout (don't tell Sprint that, just telling you what I think). This is probably your best bet. Remove your external SD first because no point in giving some Sprint employee your card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
right now i have the battery out of the phone, before that, all i was getting was the BLOD.... is there a fix for this or am i fvcked? Im selling this phone monday
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I think all he did was screw up his partitions via power collapse while parting... In which case a pit will get the job done...

Its just getting the phone recognized....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
is there a guide or tutorial some where on what to do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Well, I sent out a couple of SOS' for you and if theyre awake you may get fixed up before you get too impatient to bare it and make it worse :p just give it a few.

You can start here . http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25869754

To see if it all sounds right... Maybe post there and see if any brains are ip and about.

Dont worry about it...

Ive messed uo my partitions plenty of times.. Worst case is a freebie from Samsung, (way better than sprint) who are aware of the issue and do not avoid responsibility for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Thanks man, one thing i do have is patience. I just need this phone running by monday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Np man.

And good. (i have very little)

Dont supppose tou live in the PNW? I could start ripping through some boxes to try and find my dongle and see if that gets you into odin. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
My problem is I have a replacement coming from sprint. Guy in the sprint store was cool, knew the phone was rooted and said just bring it back in stock. I was trying to back up my sdcard to my comp which started me posting in here from the get go. I dont think i can walk in with a bricked phone now.

The other part is when i got the replacement i was going to sell it to someone. Damn I feel like a idiot.... I've been flashing since my htc touch pro, and have NEVER bricked...

Alright, its time to pop that battery in and see if you can

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
No go.... Black screen, blue light... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Its gonna sound weird...

But open up odin

Plug it in,

Then turn it on.. See if he reads you.

As I said... Ive messed up my partitions before plenty, ive even had odin fix it from the state youre in... So its worth a try...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
no go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Well, I guess we hope people far smarter than I join the fun..

I gonna start reading...

Ill let you know if I find anything useful.

if sfhub shows up, make sure to thank him. He has personally made enemies with that .. I hate that people call it a bug... It was designed and implemented..

Anyway, not many know more about it than him.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
a thousand thank yous... your help is greatly appreciated. im praying that i can just get this damn thing back to stock. should i keep the battery out, or it doesnt matter at this point?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Honestly, my opinion shouldnt be the last you seek, but if it was still completely unresponsive it may very well be irreparable...

You may just have to call up your guy at the Sprint Store ir take it to a different one and just shrug your shoulders and say "meesa no no!"

Im still looking around..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Your still the man regardless for you help... thanks man.... :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
See how tired I am? I wasnt even thinking....

Mod?

Can we please have this moved to someplace more appropriate than it being in somebodies back yard??

Thanks in advance if yes, else why

Nothing you wouldnt do..

Now, what Im not sure about...

Was it a hung install in the middle?

Or get all the way to the end and then stop moving?

Did you just get antsy soon?

Nvm, doesnt really matter i guess..

Asurion=100

Jtag=50

Sprint=35

Samsung=Free

(funny which one the insurance company we pay is....)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
It hung in the middle of the install...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Jtag may not be able to help with the BLOD. I once spoke to Samsung and they told me that I couldn't send the phone directly to them, the warranty had to managed through Sprint. Whether this is true or not, dunno.

Jelly Bean Transitions & AOSP Lockscreen Mods

Credits to PhAkEer for originally submitting these.

Here are two more mods, Jelly Bean Transitions & AOSP Lockscreen+Extended Power Menu.

The AOSP Lockscreeen comes with the Extended Power Menu integrated.

I will not be posting any additional files to revert back:

To remove Jelly Bean - re-flash any of the mods that contain the framework-res.apk from my links page.

To remove AOSP Lockscreen+Extended Power Menu - re-flash any of the mods that contain android.policy.jar from my links page.

UPDATE: If running Blazer v0.1.5, attached stock framework and android.policy.jar files to remove these mods and return to stock FOR THAT VERSION OF BLAZER ONLY.

Edit: Please visit my Blazer links page for this and other Mods and Info links :

ICS STANDARD TRANSITION ANIMATIONS

http://db.tt/SfFnnWqA

And credit is yours, friend... I had no idea what to do when morph didnt...morph.

JTAG cannot help IF it is the "EMMC bug"...true

but if its just screwed up partitions.. Jtag ftw.

Sprint seems to handle most people fairly ftmp, but Samsung doesn't go through Sprint anything... in my area at least.

Samsung has repair centers but from what I could gather it seems they are few and far between...

But they will also have you mail the phone, takes a week or so to get your new one...

Sprint... Its not a fortune but its not cheap enough ( for me ) to deal with them...

I chose my insurance when I fubar my phone.

Sure it was a little bit more, but it was no hassle one day delivery and assembled in america by an insurance company.... Lol this thing is never breaking!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No problem, I didn't post any additional files but I did leave instructions because the files to revert back already exist. I didn't think it was necessary for me to keep reposting stuff that's already out there. If I wasn't clear, I'm sure somebody will be back to let us know that they couldn't figure it out. ;)

Edit: Perfect! Yes, that download will replace jellybean transitions too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
those jelly bean transitions make me dizzy with all the spinning! haha! It inverts the screen first, then does the spin animation which doubles the dizziness. I guess its not for everyone.

Reverted back to the original ICS transitions by flashing the app switcher mod from the list. BTW, thank you so much for that app switcher mod! Looks much better now! Stock was annoying the heck out of me with the distorted graphics.

Is PH going to include these on his next release? or will these stay as add-on mods?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
All I have in the media folder is .qmg files, and the files in the romtoolbox folder are zip files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm working on a big bootanimation collection but it's going to take a while. I already have all the Rom Toolbox animations downloaded, which one do you want flashable TT?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Yeah, just place the desired zip (in its zip form) into the folder with the .qmgs.

If you still dont have your bootani on boot you may have to change a couple file names in /system/bin.

One thing at a time though. =)

(that cyborg brain is sick, btw)

Edit: forgot to say "rename desired zip 'bootanimation.zip".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
Sort of like a boot animation repository? This would be really awesome; more variety is always a good thing. Are you working on shut downs as well or just boots? My bad if it seems like I'm making requests to bulk up your workload! ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meeklo062704:
Just want to make sure, but i keep getting a notification for an update to 1.1.3, but i don't see anything about an update on the thread. Does it install over or does it require a wipe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 14u2c:
My setup everything running butter smooth battery and performance..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
It's a known problem that's being worked on... You can either disable the notification in the settings or freeze the app with something like titanium until a fix is released... It's coming..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 14u2c:
I think its from the gs3 got it from the theme section
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Is it the G3 Launcher then? I posted a link here in the thread I think somewhere. Someone was asking for it to be included in the rom at the time.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
TDunham -

Thanks again for getting that AOSP lockscreen to work with the extended restart menu.

I really like having them both

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meeklo062704:
Figured. Would crazy battery drain on this ROM be something that can be fixed with a reflash or wiping battery stats? Once my battery gets low i can't keep a charge on it. It'll drain faster than it can charge. I plugged it in at 15% and picked it up 30 minutes later at 5%. That was screen and data off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Is it overheating while charging?

If I wanted to use the stock ICS email client, is it as simple as grabbing the apk and pushing to /system/app (and removing the TW email client as well)?

It allows you to save the current wallpaper. I would attach the stock wallpaper, but the xda app is being stubborn

tdunham posted a flashable zip for me a few pages ago that installed the stock ICS email and exchange files.

Hey guys. Just wondering if someone has just the 5 icon dock mod available for this rom. I used to use Calks E4GT GB 3.0 rom with the 5 icon dock but 4x4 rows.

I saw someone link a mod with 5 icon dock and 4x5 rows but i dislike the 4x5. If someone can point me in the right direction or give me directions on how to do what I'm requesting then it's much appreciated!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sai5o4:
I've read that the Facebook app is known to be a battery hog. You should try Friendcaster, it has a much better interface. Also, what do you have checked under location settings? And do you have auto-sync on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vadyr56:
I have all of the location options enabled, and auto sync on only for Google apps and Twitter. I could try Friendcaster out, but I'm not entirely convinced it's Facebook, although I'm sure it doesn't help things. I don't use it too much anyway, but with autosync and hourly refresh disabled would it still chew up battery in the background?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sai5o4:
The only one you really need checked is Google's location service. And turning autosync off would definitely help out the battery life. What Google apps are being synced anyways? Just looked at your screens again, and you have some wakelocks which is your main problem. It's most likely an app you've downloaded. I recommend downloading badass battery monitor. Also, go to your wifi, hit the menu, and go to advanced and change the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' setting to "only when plugged in" if you haven't done so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm pretty sure the one I posted does have 4x4 rows for the home screens with the 5 icon dock. It's the app drawer that is 5x4. It's the one from Calk's 1.6 rom.

Anyone else have an issue with having WiFi stop working? Mine is set to Always On. But it seems to crap out after not using the phone for awhile. The icon stays on and the wifi status says connected and everything, but I'm not actually getting a connection. Have to disconnect and reconnect wifi.

I just flashed the ROM yesterday. Flashed it along with an FF18 modem and AGAT 0.1.1 Kernel/Recovery.

EDIT: Oh, I guess other people are having the same issue when it's set to Never sleep... I guess I'll need to set it to Always sleep.. which I really hate, because when it sleeps, it switches to 3G and since the 3G in my area sucks, it actually uses more battery life to get a 3G signal than to stay on Wifi all the time.. =/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
I've never had wifi issues with this ROM, on gb or ics. Maybe its your router? Does it happen anywhere else, such as a café or at work? I know my old router would stop working every other week or so and I had to power cycle it or change the wifi channel to jump start it again. It would show I had a connection, but no internet access.

At first i thought it might have been the cable, but the same thing happened on an oem. but the drain happens whether its plugged in or not. I think I'm just going to try everything instead of trying to figure it out. Try another full data wipe, calibrate battery, wipe battery, etc... I can't blame the ROM since most are getting great battery performance, so I'll blame user error. Any other recommendations on reflashing steps?

Just a FYI. There is a ICS notification toggle mod in the ACS ICS theme thread in post 3. I just flashed it on this ROM and it works great. Only downside is it doesn't have a 4g toggle. But if you're like me and in an area that doesn't have it then its not a big deal. Thought I would let ya know.
